3 Manipulative Tricks of the Spiritual Ego

The question could emerge in many of us, whether the spiritual Ego is a
supporter or an obstructor of the spiritual development. Can it meddle in the
process of spiritual development, and if yes, then how does it do it?

According
to us, the spiritual Ego can interfere with innumerable tricks in the life of
the spiritual seeker. These spiritual tricks are manifested in various spiritual mind games.
Some of the most important ones are discussed below.

1. Develop
your Personality!

The Ego-dominated mind says: "Look for truth! Develop your
personality to make it the most sophisticated possible! Be
spiritual!"

The Ego-dominated mind keeps coming up with new
and new programmes:
"Do this! Do that! Then all your problems will be solved." You try to obey, but in the
meanwhile you are wasting your entire life.

Personality development is one of the most
dangerous traps on our spiritual Journey along the road. The more energy we invest into,
for instance, the decoration of our spiritual mask, the more powerfully we will
identify with it, and insist on it so desperately that we will be eventually
unable to abandon it!

In this way, self-developmentonly polishes the
Ego shinier and more impressive. In reality, it is the Ego that instigates the
individual’s start a spiritual Journey on the road. It is a defensive mechanism of the mind!
It diverts our attention from the possibility of a real internal change by
adding an attractive new mask to our collection!

Be aware that Truth is already there in you,
here and now in the present moment! Search will only take truth farther away
from you, as it either keeps seeking in the future, or presents old obsolete
truths of the past to you.

2. Be Calm and Peaceful!

It is the
Ego-dominated mind that longs for peace and tranquility. It wants to be peaceful
and powerful so that its inner quiet can open a gate for the Formless. The mind nurtures the
uncounscious hope that in the Formless it will be able to continue to exist
somehow. That is why so many seekers seek spiritual experience during their
Journey.

In reality, however, inner quiet and Ego, unity
and Ego are incompatible with each other. Where one is present, the other cannot exist.

The Ego-dominated mind is capable of creating
some inner quiet and tranquility, a dead emptiness and, with the effort of the
willpower, it is possible to sustain it for a while. But it is not the quiet of the
pulsatingly alive internal silence, peace and tranquility saturated with the joy of Existence. Only a mere image of that kind of peace, created and
attempted to be implemented by the mind.

We are only able to recognize the quiet of the
union, already present in human beings (as this is their real Self), if we are
able to give up the expectations, desires, hopes etc. of our Ego-dominated mind. 3. Get Rid of the Ego!

On our spiritual Journey
we may ask ourselves the question, “How
can we get rid of the spiritualEgo?”

Who asks this question? The mind itself, the spiritual Ego.
When the mind asks that question, we assume that it cannot be the mind, as the
Ego-dominated mind surely does not want its own destruction!

We want to shed spiritual
Ego, so we are deeply involved in various spiritual
studies, in search of the method that is applicable in our own current
situation and circumstances for weakening the spiritual Ego, which will eventually disappear. That is how the mind misleads us again.

For
studying spiritual methods and choosing the appropriate one takes time, and time
is in short supply. Ourreal Selfdoes not ask questions, as it does not
require answers. It is there, it is present Now. We are only able to find it if
we forget about questions and submit to the Self, radiating its light in the
Present! Our real Self is light
itself, shining bright!!

Eliminating Mind Games

Consciousness is an indispensable condition for
us to recognize the Ego and reach Awakening on our Journey. Otherwise it is not
possible to observe ourselves. The witnessing, observing Presence should always
be there.

The mind will never understand anything that
reaches beyond it. But it tries. In this way, though, it will explain
everything from the separate aspect that it currently occupies in the
time-space continuity.

When one is able to reach beyond that separate
focus point and identification with the mind, that the person will also
recognize this conditioned state and will also be able to reach beyond that,
too. In that case, the individual will not identify with the mind, but increasingly
with the Consciousness (Witnessing Presence). The Presence will gain dominance
over the mind to an increasing extent, and will be expressed through the mind.

2. Write a short review. A few kind words helps me a lot.
3. Donate: I am Hungarian and I do not speak English well. My books and my articles are translated - that costs a lot of money. Any financial help is highly appreciated!

If we come into this planet as souls inhabiting a human body for the 100th or the millionth time, what are we doing here but progressing, learning, loving and being loved? Some chose a "bad" story and some a "good" story but all do chose. Enlightenment, what is it really? It is the connection to the divine, which we already have, but many are not really awakened to it. Once you realize your soul chooses its life, its main events, its parents, siblings, the life it will have, this is for advancement and also awakening. Each soul has the choice...no one is forced. I think after 40 years on the spiritual path..I have awakened many, many times, each one a step towards greater knowledge...as a Psychic, Medium, Metaphysician...and a Teacher of all Esoteric Tools, I have taught many how to tune into their Higher Selves. Ego says "only I" but truth says, "all can do this, all are capable" so the real question is "what do you have to give up to become Enlightened?" How about religion. How about concepts? Enlightenment is knowing, truly, that we never die.
